All you have to do is enter a url and it will render web pages. It uses redux and lets extension developers modify any action basically letting them modify anything, so an extension that makes a nice browser is definitely possible. Also I'm sure you could embed Atom into it too. Basically my holy grail , an entire web dev environment in one app/window with tabs..

The moment when I saw Google render inside the terminal is when I went from "whatever" to "wow". My typical dev setup involves a fullscreen terminal (with Vim) and a Chrome window with various tabs. Furthermore, I usually place these in separate workspaces. But if I could effectively house my Chrome tabs within my terminal, that would be such a pleasure to use. Especially since switching workspaces on MacOS comes with an unconfigurable animation/delay.

But you can already have this pretty trivially in emacs: http://puu.sh/q3hpW/2933a20e84.png

But then you are using emacs...

At least it's not written in Javascript.

You can also render full webpages using webkit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/4srze9/watching_yout...

Cool, I don't know if I really have a use for that though, I kinda like having the documentation I pull up match the color scheme of my code.
